When recording, WAPT works as a proxy between your browser and the target web site. This way it can intercept all the traffic and create the list of requests for the profile being recorded. For this purpose it temporary changes the proxy settings of your browser. However there are some specific cases which are harder to support.

The reason why you cannot record is probably your proxy configuration. You can check it in the “Internet Options” available through IE.

You can try unchecking the “Automatically detect settings” and “Use automatic configuration script” options in the above dialog. If this does not help, please make a screen shot of these dialogs on your system and send it to me. This will let us research the problem further.
